Aadhaar Vision 2032: The government is preparing to make the Aadhaar system faster, secure and fraud-free. For this, a new roadmap named ‘Aadhaar Vision 2032’ has been prepared.
Under this scheme, major changes may be seen in the Aadhaar identification process in the coming times. The biggest change will be that facial recognition will be made the main method instead of fingerprints.
Aadhaar CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar said that even though the target year has been set for 2032, preparations are being made keeping in mind the new and modern technologies of the future.
He said that the digital world is changing rapidly with technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing. Keeping this in view, the Aadhaar system is also being updated.
At present, about 9 crore Aadhaar authentications take place every day. Of these, about 1 crore are being done through face authentication. The government aims to do 100 crore authentications every month through facial recognition.
In the new system, face recognition technology will be updated from time to time with the help of AI. With this, people will not need to give fingerprints or other biometrics again and again. The government has updated the biometrics of 5 crore children and adolescents by December. This facility will continue free till September 2026.
The draft of the committee working on the new technical framework of Aadhaar will be finalized next month. It will be handed over to UIDAI in March. On this basis, a new Aadhaar system will be prepared for the next five years. The current contract expires in 2027. After this a new contract will be signed till 2032.
To prepare this roadmap, an expert committee was formed under the chairmanship of UIDAI Chairman Neelkanth Mishra. It includes technology experts and academicians from India and abroad.
